Also, it seems that bzero part of the forking procedure was finished, but bcopy was not yet. The p_pgrp cannot be a pointer, it is not yet initialized. There, we have at least one issue, since zigote is linked before the p_pgrp is initialized, and the proctree/allproc locks are dropped. As result, fork_findpid() accesses memory with undefined content. It seems that the least morbid solution is to slightly extend the scope of the allproc lock in do_fork(), to prevent fork_findpid() from working while we did not finished copying data from old to new process. diff --git a/sys/kern/kern_fork.c b/sys/kern/kern_fork.c index 1b556be..ae04c9f 100644 --- a/sys/kern/kern_fork.c +++ b/sys/kern/kern_fork.c @@ -396,13 +396,12 @@ do_fork(struct thread *td, int flags, struct proc *p2, struct thread *td2, PROC_LOCK(p2); PROC_LOCK(p1); - sx_xunlock(&allproc_lock); - bcopy(&p1->p_startcopy, &p2->p_startcopy, __rangeof(struct proc, p_startcopy, p_endcopy)); pargs_hold(p2->p_args); PROC_UNLOCK(p1); + sx_xunlock(&allproc_lock); bzero(&p2->p_startzero, __rangeof(struct proc, p_startzero, p_endzero));
